Tech giant, Microsoft, has introduced a sign language on its videoconferencing app, Teams.

With this, the D/HH users can watch signers without interruption from other video feeds while a conference is ongoing.

The release read in part, “With sign language view turned on, the video feeds of the individuals you have designated stay visible on centre stage as long as their video is on. Other participants can also be pinned or spotlighted without encroaching on the sign language interpreter. “When someone shares content in the meeting, the prioritised signer video shifts positions, but remains high quality and at a larger size than the video feeds of other participants.

“And finally, we’ve made preferences sticky – no more fiddling with features and views when you join a meeting. In the new Accessibility pane in the Settings menu, you can turn sign language view on by default across all your meetings, and pre-identify a set of preferred signers that you work with inside your organisation on a regular basis – for example, your regular interpreters .”All rights reserved.
